The eBill is a snapshot in time that is being stored online for your convenience to view or print if necessary.

Please refer to Student Center Self Service Tutorials for more detailed instruction.

Can I get a paper bill instead of the eBill?

All active students will receive an eBill. If you want a paper copy of your bill, you may log onto CashNet (through ZipLine) to print a copy of your bill. Students may use any of the computer labs on campus to print a statement.

Where can I view an itemized breakdown of my eBill?

Will you automatically bill my credit card each semester?

All credit card payments must be authorized individually. We will not automatically bill your credit card or checking/savings account.

My bill says "Anticipated Financial Aid." What does that mean?

Anticipated Financial Aid can be any grants, scholarships, or loans you may be eligible for as indicated on your Financial Aid award. Anticipated Financial Aid does not mean that all options listed will automatically be applied to the student account.

Learn more about financial aid.

Why hasn't my financial aid disbursed?

Your financial aid disbursement depends on your enrollment and if you have completed all the necessary steps to complete your financial aid.

Loans are applied to your student account provided you have:

Important Note: Anticipated Aid is based on full time enrollment.

I'm on the Installment Payment Plan. Why does my bill show that it's been paid?

If you have a payment plan contract for this term, fee charges may appear "paid," but the charges are transferred to your payment plan account. Credits will apply to future payment plan charges or new charges.

How can my parent or other authorized user view my eBill?

Students sign into their eBill account through ZipLine and set up their authorized user. A login name and password, assigned by the student, is used as security to view the eBill. The authorized user can also have an e-mail address added to their profile so that an email notification will be sent when a new eBill is generated. It is the student's responsibility to give the authorized user their login name and password (please keep in mind that the system is sensitive to the case (upper or lower) of each letter of the login name and password. The student also has the ability to cancel access at any time by signing into their eBill account and deactivating the authorized user's login.

Learn more about authorized users.

What happens if my payment is made after the due date?

You will be prevented from future enrollment and denied transcript requests until payment is made in full. You may also be charged a late fee.

The University of Akron is required by law to forward seriously delinquent accounts to the Ohio Attorney General’s Office for collection which would mean additional collection costs. To discuss payment arrangements on an account forwarded to the Ohio Attorney General Office, please contact them directly at 888-665-5440.
